The money from the two areas where savings are being made is being reinvested into child care. People will get extra per week to get better subsidies for child care. It is being reinvested into family tax benefit A, where people will be getting an extra $10 a fortnight. Young DSP recipients will be getting more than $10 a fortnight more. Youth allowance recipients will be getting more than $10 a fortnight more. We are reconsidering an existing profile of spend in a way that we think engenders workforce participation.

I do not think I can make it much clearer than that. But I will say to those opposite that when you cut money from the system you did nothing else. You took out $6 billion, $2.5 billion and $7 billion and did nothing else. (Time expired)
